GDT: Game 58: Bruins (43-8-5) @ Kraken (32-19-6) - 7 PM PST/10 PM EST

They overlap.
Nobody's advocating dirty plays - that's a narrative you keep trying to push onto me - but they happen often and generally it's no big deal, like in this case. Nobody got hurt, no big deal. Get over it.

Now we're "done here".

Dirty plays are not grit. They are two very different things.

Just because they are not mutually exclusive, you seem to believe there is a correlation between the two.

There isn't.

There is a line. There is no overlap.

You say no one is advocating dirty plays, and then continue to defend dirty plays. Do you even see the irony in your last post? - "dirty plays are part of grit... no one is advocating for dirty plays... those dirty plays are fine because no one got hurt". Your logic is one big bundle of contradiction. It is why you are getting a lot of pushback here in this thread.

If the exact same play occurred but it was Tanev spearing and then slew footing McDavid, the media would have been all over the play and the league would likely have suspended Tanev.

The presence of a double standard in the NHL's DoPS is likely what is fueling your interpretation of the rules. But there is no such thing as different interpretations here, there is just subjective enforcement.

You can't just put quote marks around words when you change them.

Now I thought we were "done"

But remember, next time a Kraken does something dirty, call for him to be suspended.

This thread really overproduced.
